Fontan will transfer to USC

Former Fordham guard Jio Fontan has committed to Southern California and will enroll at the Pac-10 school in January, a source involved in the recruitment told CBSSports.com on Monday.

A formal announcement is expected in the next 24 hours.

Scout.com ranked Fontan as one of the top 15 point guards in the Class of 2008, and he was averaging 15.0 points and 4.2 assists for Fordham through five games this season. He should be able to play for USC after the first semester next season.
